Small Carved Horn Shaman Phurba (Ritual Dagger) 

Length: 19cm (7 ½ inches)

 

This is a charming small carved horn Jhakri or shaman’s phurba (ritual dagger) from Nepal. The hilt features a praying shaman with a mala necklace and belt.  The figure kneels on an endless knot cushion, below which is a carved makara (mythical sea creature) with huge eyes, and a rounded blade with a patterned surface.

 

 

The entire phurba has been finely carved and is sensually smooth and a delight to hold.  It is in perfect condition, but its age is unknown.

 

A nice example of a carved horn shaman phurba used for transformation, healing and protection.
